CASE NO. 18-cv-02118-YGR
ORDER RE: SEPTEMBER 21, 2018
COMPLIANCE HEARING
Re: Dkt. No. 21

REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.,
Defendant.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

12

On July 10, 2018, the Court agreed to grant the parties’ joint request to continue the case

13

management conference but required, at a minimum, the filing of a “joint status report on the

14

progress of the audit proceedings” by September 14, 2018. (Dkt. No. 20.) The Court has received

15

an untimely statement by plaintiffs themselves regarding the progress of the audit proceedings

16

underway in this case, filed on September 17, 2018, which left many questions unanswered. (Dkt.

17

No. 21.)

18

First, the Court issues an ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE why defendant should not be

19

sanctioned in the amount of $200.00 for failing to comply with this Court’s order. Plaintiffs are

20

hereby warned to comply with this Court’s orders in a timely fashion. A hearing on this Order to

21

Show Cause will be held on Monday, October 1, 2018 on the Court’s 2:01 a.m. Calendar, in the

22

Federal Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, in Courtroom 1.

23

By no later than Monday, September 24, 2018, defendant must file a written response to

24

this Order to Show Cause why they should not be sanctioned for their failure to comply with the

25

stated rule. If the Court is satisfied with the defendant’s response, defense counsel need not

26

appear and the hearing will be taken off calendar. Otherwise, lead trial counsel must personally

27

appear at the hearing. Neither a special appearance nor a telephonic appearance will be

28

permitted. Failure to file a joint statement, written response or to appear personally will be

1

deemed an admission that no good cause exists and that the imposition of monetary sanctions is

2

appropriate.
Second, the Court hereby sets a conference for Monday, October 1, 2018 at 2:01 p.m. in

3
4

the Federal Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, in Courtroom 1 to resolve all

5

outstanding issues with respect to the ongoing audit. By no later than Monday, September 24,

6

2018, parties may file a joint statement containing additional information regarding those

7

outstanding issues. If the Court is satisfied that the issues related to the ongoing audit have been

8

resolved, the parties need not appear and the conference will be taken off calendar.
The Court VACATES the compliance hearing currently scheduled for Friday, September 21,
